No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Reagan picked up the phone and threatened Israel in 1984, and Israel immediately withdrew from their invasion of Lebanon.
HW Bush did a similar thing: call up Israel, threaten their military aid, and Israel immediately capitulated.
Why does Biden refuse to pick up the phone? Saying this solution is impractical is simply ignoring history.
If hes so afraid of the backlash, maybe he should also consider the backlash of being the only powerful nation to support this genocide. Loss of prestige and moral superiority on the world stage? Violent blowback against US troops in the region, or even worse, terrorist attacks on US civilians? And on the domestic stage, this is a huge gift to Trump.
Why is Bidem willing to sacrifice so much to continue this genocide?
